The</span><span class='smallcaps'> Lord</span> shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs <i>were</i> set before the temple of the <span class='smallcaps'>Lord</span>, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of <sup>a</sup><a href="jer/24/1a" mark="a" type="A" title="Jer. 27: 20.">Jehoiakim</a> king of Judah, and the <sup>b</sup><a href="jer/24/1b" mark="b" type="E" title="OR governors, or officers; Jer. 29: 2.">princes</a> of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to <sup>c</sup><a href="jer/24/1c" mark="c" type="A" title="2 Kgs. 24: 15 (14-15).">Babylon</a>.
